Traders were positioned for a possible cash cattle price rebound after a sharp decline the previous week, while futures trading included bear spreading. Beef imports through the week ending October 31 were up 18% from 2025, and traders had liquidated lean hog positions on Monday and Tuesday.
Higher beef imports add supply to the US market and may weigh on beef prices and live cattle values, although expectations of a cash rebound could provide support. Liquidation can pressure lean hog futures in the near term.
